To go, or not to go... that is the question
« on: September 17, 2012, 10:20:02 AM »
Just wondering, because I would go no matter what. Unless I was so bad off I was in the hospital of course.

Would you let a cold stop you?

Depends on your definition of "sick". :dunno:

 Is the guy hung over, does he have the flu, kidney stones, cancer? Each one of these is worse than the next, makes a big difference how "sick" he is before you can answer a poll like that. :twocents:

LOL, a cold is little more than a nuisance during hunting season, I would not classify that is being "sick".  :twocents:

I had a little bit of a head cold or alergies this weekend and being out in the woods made me feel better.

For me it would depend on how sick, and whether or not medicine was helping. If I had a cold but had the coughing/sneezing under control I would go. Last year though I had major upper respiratory infection and no amount of drugs seemed to help. I missed most of the hunting season because I figured it would be a waste of time if every animal in the woods could hear me sneezing/coughing/blowing my nose all day long.  :(

Sounds like a puss. Maybe he's sick because he doesn't have a relationship with the woods. Take enough drugs and go hunting in any condition.

When I smoked, by the time modern elk season rolled around, I had Bronchitis, or some other upper respretory issues.. including fevers, chills, unable to hardly breath... usually brought on from lack of proper rest I was working nights, hunting during the day, sleeping a few hours, then back to work.   I was still out there every day hunting, hiking, doing my share to pack out a buddies animal....
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

If it's just a little cold, then getting out in the woods would likely make him feel better.  With the weather like it is, getting fresh air and sunshine is almost sure to help and sure wouldn't hurt. :twocents:

The problem is that your not getting much of fresh air right now anywhere in the state pretty much.   :chuckle:
